Due to the links given to me, both the wiring diagram and the overdrive manual, I was able to understand how this R-9 unit works. Because of them I realized the need for and how to test every switch. I found the switch next to the steer column was not fully functional. It had gummed up over the years and the contacts not working. So I cleaned it up, tested it, reinstalled it and took it out for a drive. SUCCESS!
I have been trying to get this thing to work for 2 years now. It was very gratifying to hear the RPM's dropped as I let off of the accelerator pedal! Also, it was not longer "free wheeling." Interestingly there was no "pop" when it engaged, rather it was very quiet. Thank guys, this was a truly rewarding experience!

Sorry to here about that Eric, I am sure you will find something will all our talents. That is a lot to of folks to layoff at one time for a city the size of Wichita, reminds me of the movie "Dick and Jane".
I work for a small company, but we develop and sell software to large companies. After seeing how some of the large companies treat their employees, I would never want to work for a large company. Sure there are usually better benefits, but to me there is not any more job security. I would rather work for a small company where you are treated like family, then a large company where you are just a piece of office furniture. Just my Keep up the fight brother....you will find something.

John, those previous posts from Mal were from over a year ago about promoting Pinfo down-under.

On a Windows platform, PrntScreen captures the entire screen. Alt-PrntScreen captures the current active window. Both send the capture to the ClipBoard, so you have to paste the image into another program for saving and editing.
If you do a search on Download.com (my favorite program finder) for "Screen Capture", you should be able to find several utilities that give you more control, and make it easier.

Windows was the question in response to an earlier post above-I just remember the print screen being not too helpful without lots of extra work. I'm familiar with the mac--although on mine I also have a program called snap pro x. cmd shift 4 works as above but cmd shift 3 brings up the program which gives many more options including capturing video.

They are talking about a Mac. I believe you are correct as far as the Microsoft screen capture works (at least with XP).
I use the Windows screen capture and then an old Photoshop Lite program to modify it.

On a mac, the image is captured as a .png by default. The file type for screen captures can changed, most easily using a program like Onyx. Using the cmd-shift 3 captures the entire screen. The method above can capture whatever part of the screen you select.

Thanks everyone for the advice. It was what I was expecting. It is shame since it is not far from home. If and when I get a Packard, I will definitely be back to log it in the registry and tell you more about it. I've looked through much of this site and there is so much helpful information which says a lot about Packard enthusiasts. I'm partial to orphan cars. I'm looking for either a 53-55 Studebaker or Packard primarily. My dad is working on a 51 Kaiser club coupe.
God Bless, Gary

Been a while since I messed with windows on this part so this is probably a Kev question.
Doesn't the print screen capture as a bitmap (.bmp)--entire screen --no options for smaller area--and huge file size as I recall. If it does, then one of the pasting programs has to reduce size and convert to jpeg to view in the forum or one of the other allowable files to have it post for downloading.
